This 4-in-1 Centipede game cabinet is on sale for $124 off at Walmart

TL;DR: Get your game on with a Centipede 4-in-1 arcade machine on sale now at Walmart for $174.99 — that’s 41% off the normal price of $299. 

Set the Wayback Machine to 1981. You’re in the video arcade at the mall and Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin'” is blasting over the PA. You pump quarter after quarter into the classic Centipede machine in a quest to finally get your initials on the top score. Bragging rights are essential. You blast through the endless levels of digitized mushrooms and vermin, the centipede advances ever closer. The high score is within reach… then suddenly, Oops! Game over, no more quarters. Buh bye. 

Flash forward to now: You are in the comfort of your own home (and that Journey is still blasting too loudly) and finally have your shot at reaching #1 on your very own Centipede arcade machine — on sale now at Walmart for only $174, plus free shipping. Normally $299, that’s 41% off for one of the most iconic games ever created. It even comes in the traditional upright cabinet design with authentic trackball controller, the way it was meant to be. Let’s see that on a PS4 or Xbox. The cabinet is also upgraded with a 17″ hi-res color display built right in for immersive 8-bit action that will transport you back to a bygone era before consoles took over the world.

Best of all, the coinless Arcade1UP includes four classic Atari games from the early ’80s — Centipede, Millipede, Missile Command, and Crystal Castles — to keep you playing well past whatever used to be your curfew. Each game is also represented by the original artwork for a whole mini-arcade experience that will fit any room in the house, office, or dorm. Just plug it in and you are ready to rock and roll, with volume control and an on-screen menu that will immediately take you back to the golden age of video game splendor. Back to the ’80s, when VR helmets and an internet connection were not required to have fun.

The standard Centipede arcade machine is only 4-feet tall, though, and weighs a solid 58 pounds — so unless you have a sturdy table picked out you may want to add the additional riser base for $39.99. However, both the game and riser together are still only $214.98, which is a solid savings with the free shipping included. It’s so easy to set up, you can invite the gang over, crank the music, and start the trash-talking in no time. Just like they used to do back in the ancient 1980s, only this time without the parachute pants and leg-warmers.
